    Steelers Early Season Review (S26E38)

    Steelers Early Season Review | What Needs to Change on Offense & Defense? The Steelers are a few weeks into the season, so James and Cody are taking a bigger-picture look at where this team stands — what’s working, what isn’t, and what Pittsburgh needs to change if they want to become a legitimate contender. We break down the biggest issues on offense and defense, including protection for Aaron Rodgers, play calling, consistency, defensive pressure, stopping the run, creating turnovers, and the personnel changes we think could help this team improve. We’re also revisiting the Joey Porter Jr. situation and asking a bigger roster-building question: if Pittsburgh was willing to pay players like Keeanu Benton and Nick Herbig, why weren’t they willing to make that same commitment to JPJ? In this episode: Early-season Steelers report card Changes we want to see on offense Changes we want to see on defense How Pittsburgh can better protect Aaron Rodgers Personnel and lineup changes worth considering Joey Porter Jr. vs. Keeanu Benton and Nick Herbig How the Steelers are deciding who gets paid Whether this roster is actually built to contend Some of our fixes are obvious. Some might be a little more controversial. What would YOU change about this Steelers team right now? Drop your biggest offensive and defensive fix in the comments.

We also highlight two of the biggest Steelers performances of the night: T.J. Watt making another game-changing play with a sack-fumble on Deshaun Watson, and DK Metcalf putting together a 115-yard performance and giving Pittsburgh a much-needed spark offensively.

    Joey Porter Jr Trade and Mike Tomlin's Minecraft City Discussion (S26E36)

    Steelers Drama: Joey Porter Jr. Trade Fallout + Mike Tomlin’s 12-Year Minecraft Problem This episode of Steelers by the Lake gets a little spicy. James and Cody break down the fallout from the Joey Porter Jr. trade to the Dallas Cowboys, including the way the situation played out, the comments and attitude surrounding the move, and why we came away from the whole process feeling like JPJ handled it like a selfish punk. Then we turn our attention to Mike Tomlin and the bigger picture in Pittsburgh. The Steelers have gone years without a playoff win, and at some point the conversation has to be about more than regular-season consistency. So naturally, we ask the important question: Has Mike Tomlin basically spent the last 12 years building a Minecraft city while the Steelers couldn’t win a playoff game? 😂 We’re talking: Joey Porter Jr. to Dallas The drama surrounding the trade How the situation was handled What Pittsburgh loses and gains from the move Mike Tomlin’s playoff drought Why the same problems keep showing up Whether the Steelers are actually moving in the right direction This one is part football talk, part therapy session, and part complete Steelers chaos. Drop your thoughts in the comments: How do you feel about the JPJ trade, and how much responsibility does Mike Tomlin deserve for the lack of playoff success?
